Observatory submissions don't use browser's SOCKS proxy settings

When I set a SOCKS proxy for my browser to browse over an SSH tunnel, I found that HTTPS Everywhere was still trying to make direct (non-proxied) connections to observatory6.eff.org to submit its certificate observations. This is potentially bad from a privacy point of view and might also cause the observations to be easier for a network adversary to block, because it's very clear where they're headed.

The Observatory submissions should probably respect the browser's proxy settings.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
